About Us

Mermaid-Led. Ocean-Loving. Community-Powered.

Mendocino Mermaids is a nonprofit built on salty love and community magic.

We organize beach cleanups, eco-events, and creative fundraisers to help protect our wild, beautiful coastline.

As per our Articles of Incorporation, the specific purpose of this corporation is to clean public beaches as an act of community service.

Our club holds regular swim practices to promote exercise, and regular fundraisers to pay for trash disposal, club t-shirts, mermaid-themed events, etc.

MISSION: Our mission is to sponsor monthly beach cleanups up and down the Mendocino Coast, followed by a photoshoot in our tails to capture the attention of beach goers. We encourage adults and children alike to get active in our community, on our beaches and in the water.
